Comforting Things

• Being home alone
• Going to the movies
• Thinking

    I am a quiet kind of person. One that enjoys thinking and being left alone to those thoughts when I have the chance. I have always been this way. So during the day I get pretty tired from social situations because I usually have to exert a lot of energy in them. When I get home and I can relax it is just bliss to me. I am more of a thinker then a talker, a visionary of sorts. One of the things that can get me to think is an engaging movie. I just love being able to escape from the real world for a while and let my imagination run free with a great movie. Being in a movie theatre is a very relaxing activity for me because it's a stress reliever. The only thing I am worried about is what's going to happen within the movie and the world outside just fades to exist for some time. I find these things comforting because they cater to my personality.
   

My Name

My first name is Raymond
A name I do love
A name I carry with pride
A name meaning wise protector
Shorten it to Ray
Show a winner of a contest of skill

A name coming from a man of sturdiness
A man of true power
The power to raise my father and the rest
Making him as strong as he could be
A grandpa I wish I could have seen

My last name is Marrero
A Spanish stone breaker
A name of force and strength
A name I am glad to bear
A name that stands tall and proud

This name has endured
Son after son
A dormant force of nature
The legacy I will leave

My middle name is Michael
Resting silently between two rocks
A name that proposes a question
''Who is like God?''

Named after my father
Hardworking and smart
A serious, silent name that sits
Waiting for it's recognition
A slight embodiment of myself

If Everyone Were Aliens

    The day after I find out that every person in the world is an alien I wake up and get ready for battle. I strap on a bandanna, grab a survival knife, grab a gun, and turn into Rambo. Since I know that I'm the last of my kind I might as well go out with a bang. I run outside and roundhouse the first alien I see. Next I karate chop the next alien I see and knock it out. As they try to swarm me I pull out the gun I have with me and start taking them out. I will run out of bullets and they will probably kill me, but they will never forget about the human race and they will never forget about me. I then become a legend to them over time, one who is very much feared, but slightly respected.

A Pinata at a Birthday Party

    It's been five days since I've been kidnapped from my home where I lay comfortable all day. Now though I am out of the terrible dark room where I lay on the cold floor. Now I am hanging outside feeling the breeze. It's a comfortable time. I wonder though why is there all of these people crowding around me. In my time of confusion I see a small boy, one who looks at me with utter desire as if I am his dinner. His expression is very frightening to me. He gets a cloth wrapped around his eyes and weapon put into his hand. He walks toward me at a slow and steady pace. With pure fear I realize that all of the horror stories I heard from my friends at home were true. With that realization I knew what was going to happen to me. I closed my eyes and readied myself as I felt the air from a swing on my side.

Things I Would Never Do

• Skydiving
• Punch a wall
• Be friends with a mobster

  As you can tell I'm not taking this concept very seriously. You never really know what's going to happen in life, what situation you'll be in, or if your opinion on something will change. So if I say I'd never do something now, I could be okay with doing it in the future. With that being said I had a little fun with the concept. I would never be friends with a mobster because he will murder me for sure. I'll just be hanging out with this guy and he would say ''hey what's up?'' as I first meet him and I respond by saying ''Don't worry about it'''. Now this man is so paranoid that he's going to automatically think I am planning his murder because I don't want to tell him my plans. So over the course of the day that I am hanging out with him he's going to see certain things I do as being another move to kill him because he is just crazy. So when I turn my back at some point he's going to pull out his gun and bust a cap in me and I'm out like a light.

She Was Sure This Was Where She Had Left Him

  Seeing the body laying down on the cold forest ground was a fascinating sight to her. For this reason alone she killed him, it peaked her interests. With her weak physique it took her a few hours to dig a hole big enough. She finally finished and sloppily rolled the body into the hole and covers it. She walks back to her car from the forest with her mind beginning to feel some regret, but she still makes her way home and lays down for the night. When she awakes she begins to have overwhelming feelings of guilt, she couldn't stand it. Finally the feeling was to much for her to handle and she went back to the gravesite, even she didn't know exactly why, but she felt it might put her feelings to rest. As she walked to the place of the crime she sees a displacement of the ground and not from her sloppy grave covering from the night before. She was sure this was where she had left him. She gets closer and realizes he is gone. How could he of got out of there, she killed him. Or was he really dead? He must've just been knocked out she thought. Now the guilt she was facing had been overthrown by feelings of dread and anxiety knowing he was out there ready to tell what she had done.

Bucket List

1. Become a successful politician
2. Achieve my dreams
3. Help improve as many lives as possible.

   I chose these three tasks as what I want to do before I die because I don't play into the usual bucket list entries such as meeting a celebrity or skydiving. These entries are what I want to achieve in my life. I also have chosen these three because they all tie together. If I become a successful politician I will be living my dream and I will exert all of my energy and drive into helping all of those people I represent. So these goals are very ambitious and will probably take a large majority of my life to achieve and they're ones that I have already started to practice and prepare for personally to make sure that I at least have a chance to achieve them.
